This isnt working, we need to try something else (Kaiten Post)

[Kolsykol]

It doesn't necessarily imply that.
They do listen otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the Savage Criterion dungeons, Yoshi-P specifically said that they're adding this because we've asked for it in the West...

Srsly lets give them a chance, we've made our voices heard and he has acknowledged it even before this Live Letter.
The anger towards the Kaiten removal is even why they delayed the AST and DRG reworks.

Auto-crits isn't only a SAM thing, just because he has brought this up as an issue doesn't mean it's somehow directly connected to the auto-crits with SAM.
Kassatsu for example used to cause auto-crit but that was removed and they instead made it increase damage.
And Bootshine for example has been auto-crit since forever.
There's no real point in treating speculation as truth and then getting worked up about it and the crit issue has been an issue long before this it wasn't some sudden thing that they became aware of just because SAM now has the issue too.

Lets at least wait for the second part of the Live Letter first, they've acknowledged the negative feedback now give them a chance.
